DS has has his first high school Halloween event next week and has heart set on a costume he saw online. He will be staying with his dad that night so I decided I'd let him get on with doing some organising.
It seems he has all but dismissed the idea of getting the costume and has instead told DS he will take him into our extremely shit town centre to look for a costume. As he doesn't get home until 17.15 each day, I don't see how he plans to do this, other than go in on Saturday and hope for the best, by which time options will be very limited. He has also suggested an alternative costume which DS had no clue who it was and isn't keen on. Instinct and experience tell me ex just doesn't want to shell out £20.
I looked up the site DS saw the costume on and low and behold, its sold out in his size. I told DS and he was obviously pretty disappointed. Finally found it elsewhere.
Should I order it? Will that be seen as undermining him or trying to get one up/save the day kind of thing? I just really want DS to enjoy the party and he doesn't normally ask for "stuff".
